Even so, the capital has made its residents and tourists enjoy the beauty of the capital with beautiful and varied spaces, buildings and streets, yet it will be even more wonderful after the ongoing projects will be finished in the next year. Without the necessity of completeness, we collected some of the iconic places of Budapest where there will be visible changes in the capital.

Garden of the National Museum

Chain Bridge and Tunnel

One of Budapest's most iconic attractions is the Chain Bridge and the Tunnel, which are expected to be renewed by the new project that starts in September this year. They are planning to restore the Chain Bridge's pre-war decorations, the three-legged candelabras, while modern light decorations will be associated on the bridge. The pedestrian crossing of the tunnel is expanded, but we will have to wait to see the result, as the complete reconstruction is only completed by 2021.

József Nádor Square

Renovation of József Národ Square is already in full swing and it will take another two years to get ready. However, it is worth the wait, as under the square a three-storey, in-car garage for more than 500 cars is going to be built, which will not only improve traffic in the area, but will also play a new role in space utilization. The square above the underground garage becomes a city park, completely renewing its surroundings.
